Is it only me who thinks the design of this chair is aesthetically awful? It looks like it belongs to something like hospital not an office...

No, I find them really off putting. I much prefer the look of Haworth Zody office chairs, and they offer similar adjustability.
How is the Zody quality? Is it as high as Aeron and Steelcase? It looks somewhat easier to find at a decent price.

I've had one for about 8 years and the rubber on the armrests has started to degrade in the past 2 years, but other than that no issues to report. Replacement armrests run about 60$.
That said I worked in an office that had about 200 of them, and chairs subject to heavier individuals had problems with the gas height adjuster failing. This was about 5 years ago so maybe they've sorted it out.
